Natural wine in Manhattan
(You may also order natural wines – that i have qualified – online for delivery across the USA.)
Herebelow are natural wines that I recommend and how to buy them in Manhattan, NYC:
Here below is my selection of natural wines: sulphur dioxide (SO2) often is not added during winemaking or bottling. Only a few bottles may contain sulfites – in very small quantities — around 10 mg per liter. The establishments must sell by the bottle (without asking you to purchase anything else, even if they are bistros). [Report infringement]

Alsace — Jean Pierre Rietsch - Domaine Rietsch — Tout Blanc (au litre)
USD 18 — 2021 — rather discreet, with notes of warm apple, damp chalk and a hint of sea spray - round, ample, crisp with freshness, with a finely pulpy, delicious body, endowed with a slight astringency reminiscent of lemonade, giving this wine great drinkability. The finish is invigorating and concentrated, with a lovely combination of bitterness and astringency reminiscent of a Loire Chenin, combining quince and pomelo, with a lingering hint of bitter orange and saline notes
